 DESIGN AND FABRICATION

During the fabrication design stage, the designer and fabricator have to work
together to make any necessary alterations to the product in order to address any
conflicts between the initial design and the fabrication process that'll be used to
create the part.
 SYNOPSIS

• The project is used to operate the water pipe for hand washing purpose through
the easy operation of pressing the pedal.

• The Pedal is easily operate able in any person even children also use this.

• This Project is cheap in cost, and very useful for using on hotels, restaurents,
public areas and home uses.
 WORKING PRINCIPLE

• The water tank is fixed on the top of this equipment which is used to store the
water, the pdeal is connected to a small moving shaft which is connected to rack bar
when pedal moves down the moving shaft presses the rack bar to up side as shown
in image, when the rack bar goes to upside also the pinion moves 90 degree and it
opens the Tap, and allows to flow the water in wash basin, when we left the
pedal,the pedal attached to spring compresses and again rack bar comes to its
original position i.e. down side and the tap closes.
 ELEMENTS OF THE PROJECT

• Wash basin
• Urinal basin
• Tension spring
• Nozzle
• Rack and pinion
• Frame
• Angle valve
 WASH BASIN

• Water basin is used for collecting the water as a water source for the water tap.
This wash basin is made of mild steel. It is squre in shape and closed from the
bottom. The capacity of the water tank is 5 litre.
 TENSION SPRING

• The spring is an object that stores mechanical energy when it loaded and releases this
energy when is unloaded.Tension springs are tightly wound coils that are designed to
operate with tension. The spring stretches to a specific length as the load/force is
applied to it. In an unloaded position, the loops of the spring are touching, with either
a loop or hook attached at one end, and it is when this attachment is directed with
force that the spring stretches. When these components are pulled apart, usually from
either side, the spring tries to hold itself together, causing the springing action, until
the force is stopped and it can return to its original form. The spring material is
GALVANIZED IRON. The spring obeys HOOKES LAW, which states that“the force
with which the spring pushes back is linearly proportional to the distance from it
equilibrium length.”
• F = -kx
• Where--
• x is the displacement vector--- the distance and direction the spring deformed
from its equilibrium length.
• F is the resultant force factor--- the magnitude direction of the restoring force the
spring exerts.
• k is the spring constant which depend upon spring material (i.e. galvanized iron.).

Specification

 NOZZLE

• A nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid

flow (especially to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or
pipe. OR NOZZLE is a spout at the end of a hose, pipe, bellows, etc., by which a
stream of liquid or gas may be directed and controlled A nozzle is often a hard
tube of varying cross sectional area and hollow, and it can be used to direct or
modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas). Nozzles are frequently used to control
the rate of flow, speed, direction, mass, shape, and/or the pressure of the stream
that emerges from them. In a nozzle, the velocity of fluid increases at the
expense of its pressure energy.
• The material of the nozzle is stainless steel.
